Blake Carpenter (born January 14, 1991) is a Republican member of the Kansas House of Representatives, representing the 81st district. He has served since 2015.

Biography

Carpenter's first step into politics was during college. While attending Wichita State University, he joined the College Republicans. After a few months of being actively involved with the group, he was elected vice-chairman in spring 2013. During the fall semester of 2013 the chairman of the College Republicans stepped down, and Carpenter stepped into the chairman's role.[1] Carpenter remained the chairman until the end of the 2014 spring semester.

During the 2014 spring semester Carpenter had a class project to interview a state representative. He decided to interview his state representative who was Jim Howell. Howell was stepping down to run for the Sedgwick County Commission. During their conversation, Carpenter said he wanted to run for public office someday, and Howell asked him "Why not just do it now?”.[1] After some consideration, Carpenter decided to run and began gathering petition signatures to get his name on the ballot. During the 2014 election cycle, Carpenter ran against Democrat Lynn Wells.[2] Carpenter defeated Wells in the November general election.[3] [4][5]

After the election ended in November 2014, he graduated from Wichita State University in December with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree.

Carpenter and wife Cziara married each other in December 2013.
